I agree with Jools, I thought Kyle Wood looked very comfortable at scrum-half with some crisp passing and intelligent kicking.

Leeming is injured, no?

What poor tackling- he's doing better than both robbo and Lunt on that front. He'd played 4 games in less than two weeks-after some brutal 80 minute slots against the biggest blokes on the park- He's not a better halfback than robbo and he's not a better hooker than Lunt - but he's matched up to both in defence this season-I'm not having it brearley - I just think you are wrong.

I know wood has played last two at sh.

I would not expect Leeming to be better than Wood at this stage in his career, however time and games will tell if he has the potential to be so.

Personally I would just like to see us give these kids an opportunity.

Surprised that Connor did not get a go over Easter - understand the argument about not blooding kids in a losing side but don't see the point of going in to a season with claims of "genuine pressure to play well to keep place" when we are then reluctant to rotate the team.

For me at this stage of the season the most important thing is to establish some real hunger for cementing a first team place, and to prove that when youngsters are blooded that they do not offer more than the first teamers. That of course can work the other way, with the youngsters proving their worth and the benefit there is the first teamer being more determined to get their place back, work harder etc...

With ref to Kyle - his better position is at SH - and I thought he played well over the two games there. Against Wakey his distribution was good and did not really notice any issue in defence.

More worrying was our lack against Wakey of moving the ball. Such a poor game really with one out runs and then more one out runs. Really pleased we got the two wins - but not impressed with either performance. We will need to be much better to beat a very good Cas team. They seem to be doing what we did last year and are high on confidence.

josh johnson has been given a chance, albeit quite limited

but come in due to lack of props

the others youngsters have senior players ahead of them like connor - grix would have to be dropped/rested which anderson obviously doesnt want to do.

leeming is injured.

aspinall is on loan at sheffield and from what i have seen of him wont make it at super league but would like to be proved wrong

Although I agree with the initial post, two things come into play, the form of those you replace and more importantly the form of the youngster. Anderson is in the best position to judge this. We do have the broncos and bulls coming up so there is perhaps a couple of opportunities there.
